What are the responsibilities and job description for the Associate Mechanical Engineer position at DwyerOmega?
Job Type
Full-time
Description
Temperature Division
Our Temperature Division has a strong focus in the manufacturing and development of DwyerOmega's proprietary products for process control and measurement applications, primarily in temperature, with flow, environmental, and other process segments as well. With manufacturing sites in Swedesboro, NJ, Wolcott, IN, Middleton, WI and Michigan City, IN, the manufactured product line consists of a great variety of temperature sensor probes (RTDs, thermocouples, and thermistors), temperature sensor wire, infrared temperature sensors, temperature calibrators, connectors, thermowells, and many other items. These products support many applications globally, including commercial spaceflight, alternative energy, microprocessor manufacturing, automotive testing, food and beverage processing, and much more. Our next generation of products will include new features such as wireless communication capabilities (IIoT), improved accuracies, increased overall robustness, and market disrupting technologies that only creative, forward thinking engineers can deliver.
Why this job is a big deal!
If you are a Mechanical Design Engineer interested in a product development environment with excellent “hands-on”, mechanical and organizational skills, this may be the perfect opportunity for you! Join the Engineering team that developed the award-winning, patent pending HANI Temperature Sensor. As a Member of the Temperature Engineering Design (R&D) team you will be a valuable contributor to the design and development of both new & existing products. This role will engage your creativity and passion for design engineering and innovation, providing an opportunity to learn from other bright dynamic individuals.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities include the following. Other duties may be assigned.
